Early morning breakfast at the Bongo Room. Deceptively small breakfast place out near Wicker Park, with olive and brown walls, rotating stainless steel ceiling fans, and an exposed brick wall with a retro poster painting on it.
I had the Chocolate Tower, which is a slightly chocolatey, malty tower of french toast, with maple syrup/mascarpone sauce, chocolate shavings and slices of banana.
This was how far I got with the french toast before I ground to a halt.
Sameer had the Eggs Benedict – perfectly poached eggs on an English muffin with roasted red peppers, spinach, and a hollandaise sauce served with roast potatoes in a sour cream and herb sauce. Hmmmm… I ate about a quarter of that too. (Maybe that’s why I didn’t get very far with the french toast.)
It was divine. Next time I’ll try the key lime cheesecake pancakes…
This is totally crazy! I feel ill, yet totally starving, just looking at that chocolate tower
That food all looks SO delicious! But the second pic doesn’t look like French toast, though…
